Having read the reviews we booked a twin bedded room for 3 nights in April. Upon arrival we were initially asked for full advance payment but asked to see our room first. The room we were shown to was dark and dingy with little natural daylight. The lighting was limited with the main illumination being an old fashioned fluorescent strip... more

Ideal location right on the harbour in a beautiful setting. We stayed on the 1st floor which had terrific views and our own lounge and free internet. Super air con, which you NEED. Each room had its own fridge. The water is hot if you turn on the switch. Bucket showers worked the best and were hot. Food and water... more
